improvements 1t tha KITTY O.Brien-
Rich Developments I'm Gold Flint
Local Notes. :
The Kitty O'Brien suspended operations
last Wednesday. The mill had been started
up on q trial lot OF ore, but it was deemed
best by the company to suspend opera
tions on it also until they have the Nancy
property thoroughly developed. The
main tunnel OF the latter mine belonging to
the same company. is in q distance of 600
feet. and it will require to be pushed fully
100 feet moro before prosecuting the
ledge. The mine is located at al altitude
of 1 ,421 feet higher than this city. The
ore in this mine is of a very base character.
and the company have in contemplation
the erection of crushers and roasters for
the treatment of the base ores If sufi-
GENTLY rich to warrant their erection. The
mill capacity will be increased by the addi-
ton of five new stamps. The roasters and
crushers will be q needed improvement, al
the Kittie O'Brien mill was intended only
for free milling ores when built. The Nancy
tunnel will tap the vein ITO feet lower than
the Gold Flint, and will thereby determine
the value of both mines.
GOLD FLINT.
The main tunnel is in q distance of 300
feet. On the east drift the company is at
present driving on a six-foot body of ore,
though of a base character. In a winze
sunk to a depth of twenty-five feet, about
$50 feet from the entrance of the tunnel, is
where the richest ore SO far has been en-
countered in the mine, and.is q very good
indication OF the ore body continuing
down. The average assay OF the ore thus
far has been 1O8 ounces per ton.' OF late
much difficulty has been experienced by en-
countering an extra flow of water which
has retarded work considerably, making it
very wet and disagreeable, but this has
been overcome and work is progressing now
very favorably.
The work of sinking the new shaft on
the Goldsmith has been completed to the
hundred foot level, together with a twenty
loot stump. The shaft is two-compart-
ment, new throughout and we'll timbered.
1t will be some time before the ledge is
reached by the work now being prosecuted
in the crosscut. George Tong owns the
mine which has in the past produced much
good ore, and is one of the VAUDEVILLE
stand.bys.
LOCAL NOTES.
Dave McCranor of this city is running his
fve-stamp mill with considerable success in
Wisconsin Gulch.
A Shipment Of ore from the Bonanza of
the Butte Sampling Works returned Messrs.
Robinson & Manning at the rate of $28
per ton net.
The ore dump at the Anaconda will be
all cleaned up by the middle of this week
if they do not take chat which is in under
the tramways. This will cut off anyway
two hundred cars on their daily hoist, that
being the number that it has supplied dur
ing the time they have been removing it.
The ore dump at the..Hieh Ore is rapidly
nearing completion. The foundation of
masonry and the heavy timbers are in
position and the heaviest of the work
finished.
Ed. Monahan, who not long since was
injured by a piece of the hanging wall fall.
ing on his shoulder and arm, in the Neptune
mine. is slowly recovering. It was feared
hat amputation would be necessary.
